I am going to thoroughly enjoy church this summer. Everyone was so glad to see me this morning, it was incredible. The Good Lord moved my heart and I took everything as it came humbly with much humility. I am surprised even with myself that I didn't say anything in return. Margeret, the organ master, my piano teacher, was/is very willing to let me play the organ in church and give her a break as soon as I can prove to her I can do it. That to me is an incredible gesture! You WANT me to play the organ in church? Me? Wow, I'm honored! I was talking to Rebecca about being a 'quad-threat to the choir' because I can play some piano, some organ, the trumpet, the french horn, I sing tenor, and I am one of maybe three in that choir who can actually read music. Yes, you heard me right. That is why we don't sing parts very often: because no one can read the music to figure out thier notes. Choir practice is on wednesday, and I have every intention of playing my horns on sunday. Also another thing: the choir is taking a break during the month of June and doing an extensive amount of solo work. You know what that means? I might learn that Beethoven Sonata for June and perform it there and just maintain it for St. Lukes in Mobile. Plus I might sing a solo in some really nifty work. I don't know, I'll have to talk to Margeret about it. Ralph, the other tenor, was listening to me sing and commented to me about my consonants, how I make the choir look bad because my pronunciation is so much better. All I could say was, "the choir I came from was really evil about it, that is why I learned it". I have been given an incredible opportunity here, and I have no intention whatsoever to blow it because I get cocky. So yeah. I am going to go cook some lunch, and I'll probably be back later to type some more.
bye!
